It was another good day.
Sometimes I get nervous about not really understanding why I'm able to do this right now, as that tends to suggest that I could lose the ability at any time. I think I won't worry about it as thinking it will end is not the attitude I need. I'm gonna keep the same attitude as I had about my weight at the clinic, which I had confirmation about today.
At the YMCA I weighed in at 256 lbs, for a total of 38 lost. I also occasionally think that I might plateau, but I've decided not to worry about that either.
I am so sure that keeping things in perspective will be the biggest factor helping me to succeed. One of the significant thoughts I keep returning to is "Eat to live, not live to eat." That includes taking into account the decreased metabolism due to my age. I will do this!
Positively, elly

Fortunately for you I know exactly why you are able to do this now!! And even though I no longer know everything, this thing I know. You can do this now because you finally associate more pain with not doing it, than with doing it! Simple as that. All you need to do is hold on to that mental attitude and you will maintain your success. If you don't believe me ask Odd John. He still knows everything

Peter is right about the pain explanation, and another thought just occurred to me. You don't actually have to know why it is different this time. Regardless of what has changed in your life, focus on what is good and right, and minimize or forget altogether any negative past. I'm glad your doing this now so I can help with all the things that Peter no longer knows......soon I will be as old and dumb as he is.
